The Charm of Irrigation

There is great charm about irrias- ton. Az he sees the ditches tapped and the water spread over square after square of the whey ard; the slfslfs, field, or the onion beds, the visitors thoughts will involuntsrily go back to other scenes or fields, dependant on the rain supply. Where is the farmer who can recall two successful seasons in which be had the rainfall distributed just right for bis oropsY Yet hers turn of the hoe lets on ihe water, and thsbright sun prevents it from standing too long. Recently 6 small green winged bug made it's sp- pesrsnoe in some of the vineyards of the valley and begun to feed on the leaves. Water was turned on. and the vines on which the insects had made their sp- pesrsnoe were shaken. That was the end of the pest.
 As the farmer lof Mesills never raises bis voics in prayer for rain, SO he does not have to look at the moon or study the clouds when having time comes round. He starts the mower in the sl- fslfs field when the clover like growth is in full blossom, and he stacks the forage where it it is cured exactly to his wish There is no hurrying to get start of the black clouds. DO reopening of Winrovs or cooks of damaged hay. If the farmer here is in hsste to market his alfalfa he puts bis bsiling machine to work ID the fields and hsuls the crop svsyi to the cars without having the trouble of stack iAg. As one crop of alfalfa is ofi the ground the water is let on and rapidly spreads its way over the field, In cou- pls of days the fresh grass sprouts have hidden the stubbls. and another crop is growing with Q rspidity which is un- known in the clover fields further east.
 Only one product tekes precedence over she alfalfa crop in point of profit. That is, of course, the vinysrd. After grapes and alfalfa the onion crop ranks in profit The yield is enormous, but more work is required, and this reduces the net profit below .the frui, and the forage. Still the returns on onions, when all is considered are enough to make sn eastern farmers eye bulge Gioha DemOorak
